4. To go nowhere, follow the crowd
5. It only takes a solitary light to lead a thousand ships in from the darkness
6. Anger is only 1 letter short of danger

" Stay in the books & be a good person"

This person has helped me in so many ways and this is the only thing he has ever asked of me. THANK YOU!
